SITTING LADY FALLS

SITTING LADY FALLS

There’s a wonderful west coast walk located in Metchosin, on the outskirts of Victoria.  It’s called Witty’s Lagoon Trail.  A groomed track, it takes you from the parking lot down a meandering trail through a very typical west coast rain forest to the open beach looking out on the Juan de Fuca Straight.  I’ve done that walk many times with my daughter Melanie and her family.  Always I’ve felt the presence of a painting, and once I found a painting of tranquility along the forest trail. (Witty’s Lagoon – Tranquility)

But, that image of calm and serenity doesn’t tell the whole story of this trail.  There’s a waterfall on the trail that changes character almost daily.  Depending on the runoff from the surrounding area, Sitting Lady Falls can be an idyllic tumble of water over an impressive rocky outcrop, or it can be a raging, foaming torrent as it charges its course to the ocean.

The winter of 2020 was a particularly wet and grey one.  The heavy rains created dangerous and destructive flood conditions in many places on the west coast.  And Sitting Lady Falls was the benefactor of that rage of torrential rains.  I wasn’t there to witness it personally, but Melanie took a photograph one January day and sent it to me.  Melanie’s an artist herself so she knew the value of the light as it played on the trees in the foreground.  Though not a composition I’d usually be drawn to, I had to try my hand at painting this impressive natural display.

If ever you’re looking for a nice forest walk at the southern tip of Vancouver Island, consider Witty’s Lagoon Trail.  There you’ll get to see Sitting Lady Falls for yourself.  And it’ll always be impressive, no matter what mood the Sitting Lady is in.

Pricing

My images predominantly sell as limited edition prints (either serigraph or giclée). As such, there is a wide range of pricing, too wide to list within this website. I’ll explain.

My original paintings, those that are still available for sale, range in price from $4,000.00 and up. In most cases though I have limited edition prints available of my images. Needless to say, they are far less expensive than the original paintings. If you are interested in a particular original painting, please contact me at your earliest convenience at info@edhillart.com

If it’s a limited edition print you’re interested in, let me explain. Because of modern day technologies, the image you are interested in can be giclée printed on either paper or canvas. The canvas images can be rolled up and shipped in a simple tube, or they can be stretched on a frame and shipped that way. So too, these images can be reproduced custom made to your wishes. In other words I can create a print in the size you desire, either to fill a small space, or to fill an entire wall. I’ve included below a photograph of a client’s dining room with two of my prints reproduced in a larger format.

You will see that some of my pieces shown on this web site, those lithograph reproductions and art cards, do have fixed prices. The rest of my images, however, can be priced only when I know specifically what you, the client, want. As such, if you are interested in a particular image, please contact me, Ed Hill, directly at info@edhillart.com

Once your order has been determined, you’ll be able to make payment through PayPal provided herein.
